Either fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, or clogged lines. It's amazing the shit that a dirty fuel filter will cause.

Just pop off your door cards one by one and look for the shit stains.

having a 3uz, this is a comfy feel

>>17699849
3uz is guud, but 1uz-fe VVTi is GOAT and only FAA approved model.

>>17699856
i know the cylinder sleeve spacing is larger due to smaller bore in the 1uz, but the blocks are identical otherwise, aren't they? 3uz also has vvti

>>17699878
Yes, identical blocks. 3uz is considered weaker due to sleeve spacing, and weaker connecting rods.

>>17699884
>weaker connecting rods
huh, i didn't know this. i've never heard of them throwing rods, though. just negligent owners not replacing timing belts and fucking valvetrains.

>>17699915
Each generation Toyota made the rods weaker, and yet increased the power output. They don't tend to fail, but I know people like earlier engines when they turbo them.

>>17699935
lighter rods for higher redline? either way it would make sense to upgrade the bottom end for durability when adding forced induction, or better yet just go with the stronger block, but that's fine by me since i'm boring and just want a reliable engine

>>17697414
Owned an 85 carbureted Camaro.
I know this feel.
Didn't hurt that I couldn't leave the damn ignition system alone.

>>17699686
No,shitty everything.

Might be because the tire pressure becomes to much, because the tire is being squished by the bump.

That's why you're supposed to replace in pairs, if one is out the other bulb that gets used the exact same amount isn't far off.
